A message from our CEO

Family Care Network is a local, independent, provider-owned family medicine network in northwest Washington State. We are actively recruiting board-certified Family Physicians (MD/DO) to join our outstanding health care teams. We also have opportunities for family practice ARNPs and PA-Cs.

We practice a full spectrum of family medicine, from obstetrics and prenatal care, preventive and wellness care, sports medicine, minor procedures (joint injections, suturing) to geriatrics. In addition to our outpatient practices, we have our own embedded lab services in most of our clinics and three urgent care clinics. Our clinics are located in Bellingham, Ferndale, Lynden, Birch Bay, Mount Vernon, and Anacortes.

Be part of a team of independent practitioners who put excellence in patient care as their top priority, while enjoying the healthy lifestyle available in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.

Urgent Care – Lynden

Family Care Network Urgent Care in Lynden, with onsite lab and x-ray service, offers same-day care for minor illness and injuries – seven days a week. Urgent Care is also available in Bellingham and Mount Vernon.

Patients are typically seen on a first come, first served basis (no appointments), in the order that they arrive. However, a patient with a more urgent medical concern may be seen out of order. Please be patient in these situations. Your care is important to us, and you will be seen as soon as possible.

Patients can check in at the clinic up to 15 minutes before opening.

We accept most major medical insurance plans. All urgent care locations are open to FCN and non-FCN patients.

We can also see you via telemedicine. Go to On-Demand Telemedicine to learn more.

Urgent Care is a lower-cost alternative to the emergency room, with shorter wait times and a calmer setting to treat issues such as:

Cold and flu symptoms (fever, sore throat, cough, etc.)
Sprains and strains
Possible fractures
Work-related injuries
Headache
Eye or ear infection
Sinus pain
Nausea
Back pain
Minor cuts, scrapes or burns
Minor abdominal or pelvic pain

Life-threatening emergencies should be seen at the hospital, or dial 911. This includes difficulty breathing, heart attack/stroke, extremely high fever, severe trauma or open fracture (broken bone protruding through the skin), uncontrolled bleeding, poisoning, severe pain, major burns and other serious medical issues.

Sports clearance, CDL certification, and routine vaccinations are not available at Urgent Care. Please call your regular doctor to schedule an appointment.
